Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Mix in the vanilla extract and orange zest until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then slowly add it to the buttery mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped dried cranberries.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill your dough if it feels too soft, substitute dried cranberries with dried cherries or raisins if needed, and store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
